I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.

*Great product. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I have never used a baitcaster before and did a lot of research before buying this one. I bought it with the Torrent casting rod as well and it works very nice.*

@takjensen7 жыл бұрын
Ours wasn't casting at all. It would come in fine though. Thanks for showing me how to get to the insides and what a properly functioning inside should look like. The spring on our was missing, so I used the spring from a retracting ball point pen to replace it - worked like a charm. Then I also noticed the metal notch that holds the pin at the center had been bent too far out, pushing the pin out to always catch the line. Bent it back to center with pliers and the reel works like a dream now! Casts really far. So happy. Thanks for putting this up! My son will be so happy. Happy son, happy mom.

Removing the silver disc, jiggling the pin on a spring, and reassembling solved the catching problem I was having preventing it from casting. My five year old got to go fishing, thanks!

I had to give up on the spinning reel. Yes, I practiced and was very good with it most the time, but when I was not good I was "punished" for it by tangles. Just give me the simplicity of the spincast reel. If I look like I'm not a pro by using such a reel, I don't care, I'm having fun.
@rbdavisphoto6 жыл бұрын
did you know there a right and wrong way to put line on a spinning reel? I guess not. You may have also put on too much line. hint: the reel states the max line capacity if you read. The line should go on like and old cassette. It makes a difference. Tangles are also caused by the wrong line. a Spincast max line is about 6lb test. heavier will tangle. I don't recommend 2lb either. Fishing is simple, spincast are for children and you'll kick yourself when you loose a nice size fish because of using a toy. Man up!
